Yes, of course I considered this option. And most likely I will install another one if I don't find the original one in working condition from the same motor.Vieux, have you considered building a manifold adapter to mount a different carburetor? It would be relatively easy for a man of your skills.
Here is one I built to mount a Weber 38/38mm carburetor on a Honda Goldwing engine.

Good job, Vieux!
I started making brakes for my tractor. The main brakes will be hydraulic front, disc brakes. Maybe later I'll add separate brakes on the rear wheels. The operation of the tractor will show this. So far, I have made a bracket for the brake pedal and the main brake cylinder. Temporarily fixed it in the intended places. After the final adjustment and fitting, I will make a thorough fastening.

I have absolute respect for your design and fabrication skills using the resources available to you! Are separate rear turning brakes (as found on most tractors) not something you will be needing given the use(s) of your tractor? Keep up the amazing work, Vladimir!
Yes, I'll probably put separate brakes on the rear wheels.
I have a similar copper punch in my collection, doesn't get used as much as it did, amazing how short it has gotten through the years.This is what the front brake caliper looks like. That's what I'm going to install on my tractor.
Tractor is looking good.
I installed the front brakes on the tractor to continue testing. There is only one brake so far, on the front right wheel. A longer test run showed that it is necessary to make a wheel turn limiter. Lowering the speed and thrust is more than enough. The video shows that I drove into the garage in first gear without touching the gas pedal. Moreover, an increase in engine speed in low gear does not affect the speed. Overall, it's not bad so far.

Vlad, great work on the tractor. Just a couple thoughts, I'm sure you are familiar with tractors and know most small horsepower tractors do not have front brakes, so are they really needed. And also rear brakes are a split pedal married when needed. Some even use just a single caliper and disc on either a drive shaft or axle. So can you avoid work by using less brakes. I know you have a plan in mind!
Keep up the good work and stay well!

Thank you for your congratulations!
I continue to work on the tractor. I extended the transfer case shift lever and slightly changed the angle of the lever. Now it's convenient to switch. I also decided to maximize the use of the display on the dashboard. I made a light bulb that shows charging. I have another generator installed and the charging indication circuit is implemented differently. I also connected the speedometer, it is clear that it shows the weather on the moon, once it is there, it should work.

Of course it 's a cable . The electronic speedometer appeared very late on Soviet cars. I had a 2000 VAZ-2110 car with an electronic speedometer on it. And on exactly the same VAZ-2110 , but only in 1999 , it was with a cable drive.

Since you're probably going to be driving under 16kmh, it might be possible to use a speedometer tuner/adjuster gearbox, like the ones used in big trucks, to make the speedometer read 10 times as fast as you're actually going. Then at least it would have some less than moon-like value. Assuming that Russian big trucks use the little reducer/increaser gearboxes like American trucks do.

It will be the coolest tractor ever.
This is an interesting speedometer gear drive design. Unfortunately, I do not know if there is such a drive on our trucks. But you've given me an interesting idea, and I need to think about it.Since you're probably going to be driving under 16kmh, it might be possible to use a speedometer tuner/adjuster gearbox, like the ones used in big trucks, to make the speedometer read 10 times as fast as you're actually going.

We are still "taking care" of our safety. The mobile Internet is completely disabled in the city. He works out of town sometimes. For using a VPN, you can face a fine and revocation of the license of the provider that allowed the vpn to work. Telegram is blocked and so far its operation is supported only using a proxy. Every night, missile and drone threats are announced, and a "carpet" plan is introduced - this is a restriction on the departure and arrival of aircraft. That's how "interesting" we live here, as it's called - laughter through tears.
Vieux... Nice progress with your tractor... Amazing creative work...
I applaud your ability to find solutions and workarounds to fixing things...
I look forward to your progress updates...
I'm amazed that you are able to still get posts out with what you are faced with...

Vlad, hope and pray that the tractor and other projects provide you with sanity and peacefulness in your daily life. Cannot imagine the mental hostility you are enduring.
Spring coming and warmer weather. Our daffodils and crocuses are about done, saw a few tulips the deer have not eaten and the trees are flowering.
Take care.

Thank you for your words of support. It's really hard enough to live in constant tension, realizing that in fact nothing depends on you and you are deprived of everything familiar at the whim of someone incomprehensible. As long as I have the opportunity to publish my posts, it is not known how long this will last.
Today we managed to bypass the blocking.
Minor work on the manufacture of a tractor takes up quite a lot, while it is not noticeable externally. Now I'm thinking about where to install the fuel tank. I have a tank, I originally planned to put it under the seat, but there were problems. It doesn't fit there and will interfere with the operation of the hydraulic cylinder, which I also thought of putting under the seat. I'm still thinking about how to solve this problem. The second problem I'm thinking of solving is which drive to use for the oil pump - mechanical or electric. If it is electric, then you need a powerful electric motor, about 1.5-2 kW and a voltage of 12V. Maybe I'll use a starter. Or a mechanical drive - then you need to figure out how to make the pump switchable. Use the clutch for turning on the car air conditioner . I think I'm calculating and trying on all the options.
In addition, the constant air raid sirens that we hear quite often are very distracting. And there just isn't enough time for everything. The eternal problem is the lack of time and money.
I'll show you some photos from my garage, I hope it will be interesting.

Vlad, glad you're here. Does the pump require a tank also for the hydraulics? Just thinking if you don't need a lot of litres per minute a power steering, belt driven pump might keep up.
Good Luck

I was thinking about using a power steering pump. I just managed to buy a couple of new gear oil pumps from hydraulic systems very cheaply. They are called NSh-10. I will use them, and I plan to use the fire extinguisher body as an oil tank.

Are you also planning to use the hydraulics for other purposes such as for the tractor attachments (eg plow, snow plow etc.)?
As for the location of the fuel tank, since all the weight of the engine is in the front (with respect to the seat), what about creating a frame and welding it to the rear of the tractor frame at the same height as the seat?
This will also provide a bit of counter weight in the back which should help the plow in the back dig deeper in the soil. And since it is at height of the seat it should not interfere with any planned attachments such as a plow in the rear.

Yes, there are plans to make hydraulics for the snow removal blade and other devices. I was also thinking about 2 options here. Or I will have 1 hydraulic cylinder, which, depending on what is needed at the moment, I will move from the rear to the front and vice versa. Or I will use 2 cylinders and 2 distributors. It all depends on the price, a 2-section distributor and hydraulic cylinders are quite expensive. I also considered mounting the fuel tank at the back, but I would not like to go beyond the dimensions of the tractor frame. Although I will most likely install the tank at the back, it is also possible that I will redo the seat mounts (raise them a little higher) and install the tank and the hydraulic cylinder there.

So thinking about the snow pushing blade, Would a power steering cylinder offset to one side of the blade make a cheap adjuster. Might find something suitable at the auto dismantler for cheap.

It is not always possible to access the GJ forum.
I try to bypass the blockages.There is no mobile Internet in the city, it only works outside the city. The authorities explain this by taking care of our safety, they say protection from drones. What an idiot you'd have to be to believe that...
I continue to make hydraulics for the tractor, or rather, I invent a pump drive. I don't want the hydraulic pump to work all the time, so I make it unplugable. I have an electric coupling for turning on the air conditioner, I will use it. I have turned out several necessary parts on the lathe, and I will check it all together soon. When checking "on the table" everything works, it remains to check on the tractor.

Vlad, thanks for taking the time and making the effort to post. Continue to find what you do amazing. Thanks and take care!
Some guys I know from the tire repair shop gave me a pair of wheels. My rear tires on the tractor were completely bald and they were also slowly deflating. The guys offered me wheels in much better condition, and they did the tire service absolutely for free. The wheels are slightly smaller, but that's okay. But the video shows me driving into the garage on new wheels.
Today I also received a new hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic distributor.

Hi Vladimir
Thank you very much for the great updates. Foremost and most important news here is that you and your family are safe!
Of course all of your JG friends are also always looking forward and eager to see your projects and the progress.
The tractor is definitely bit by bit taking shape. I am sure you will do a great job with the hydraulics.
As for the tire shop guys, they must be first class gents. It is so heart warming to hear that even in challenging and trying times, human decency and care for others is still well and alive.

Do you know the guys in the background? They were eyeing your shop pretty hard.
Yes, of course I know. These are my garage neighbors, normal guys.
The hydraulic distributor and hydraulic cylinder that I will use on the tractor. First you need to put everything in its place, and then buy high-pressure hoses. It's not cheap either.
I had to redo the attachment of the swing assembly on the front beam. I first used a bearing assembly.
This turned out to be not a good idea, the node does not support lateral loads. When you turn the wheels, the front beam will turn slightly along with the bearing. Maybe it depends on the manufacturing quality of this node, of course. As a result, I removed these bearings and made everything primitively simple, an eyelet made of metal 10 mm thick and an axis with a diameter of 20 mm.

Tractors taking shape. The guys in the back ground, do they also build like you do or are they just parking cars in their garage space? Stay well!
They just park their cars in the garage. Sometimes I can have a beer with them. I'm probably the only one in the garage who does construction and repairs of various equipment. Many people use the garage as a place to store various junk like in the photo. I didn't take this photo, but we also really have similar garages.
